Weaving Studio: BCU Textiles Students
Birmingham City University Textiles students present a Weaving Studio as part of Ikon’s exhibition Thread the Loom (25 June – 7 September 2025).
The students are part of a group of weavers who operate an AVL Studio Dobby loom, on loan from Birmingham City University (BCU), establishing a functioning weaving workshop and producing original textiles. The micro-residencies champion a ‘learning by doing’ approach, through which visitors can observe, engage with and participate in traditional and contemporary art and craft practices. Full schedule available here.
This exhibition is supported by Jerwood Foundation, Cotton Textiles Research Trust, The Saintbury Trust and Freelands Foundation.
